Why Companies Need to Invest in Sales Leaders Successful sales professionals are often promoted to leadership positions with little training and mentoring to ensure their success as managers. St Kate’s Women Sales Leader Development Program covers such topics ranging from Change Management, Motivating Teams, and Building Financial Acumen, providing the framework for managerial success. Sales Leaders who attend the program learn valuable skills during the sessions and develop a network of colleagues that provide insights and support. Participants will enhance their skills as Sales Leaders through lectures, guest speakers, and Insights® Discovery for Self-Awareness-and Developing Your Leadership Roadmap. They will leave this program energized, articulate, focused and ready to bring their very best to the organization they are part of. The tools and subject matter experts they gain access to will make a positive impact on their progress and ability to motivate and inspire the teams they lead, the clients they interact with, and the business results they influence.
